Fall in Vermont: Leaf-Peeping, Cozy Fires, and Autumn Adventures

There’s no season quite like fall in Vermont. The air turns crisp, the mountains transform into a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, and golds, and everything seems to slow down in the best way. Grey Bonnet Inn puts you right in the middle of it all — here’s how to make the most of autumn in Killington.

Hike Through a Sea of Color

From late September through mid-October, the surrounding forests burst into vibrant fall foliage. Hit one of the local trails early in the morning for golden light filtering through red maples, or take a leisurely walk along a riverside path where every leaf seems to glow. No filters necessary — Vermont’s foliage speaks for itself.

Warm Up with Seasonal Treats

After a crisp day outdoors, nothing beats the taste of Vermont in autumn. Think warm apple cider, fresh-baked donuts, pumpkin-spiced everything, and, of course, maple syrup in every imaginable form. The local farms and markets around Killington offer plenty of places to indulge.

Take a Scenic Chairlift Ride

One of the best ways to experience Vermont’s fall colors is from above. Several nearby mountain resorts run their lifts during foliage season, offering panoramic views of the fiery landscape below. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation — and an unbeatable photo opportunity.

Gather Around the Fire

As the days get shorter, the evenings become even more special. Back at the Grey Bonnet Inn, cozy up by the fireplace or gather outside under the stars. A crackling fire, a wool blanket, and the cool mountain air — this is autumn the Weekender way.

Experience Vermont’s most magical season.
Fall at Grey Bonnet Inn isn’t just about the views — it’s about slowing down, savoring the moment, and embracing everything that makes this season unforgettable.
